Chapter 80 You Have Such a Cruel Heart
Chapter 80 You Have Such a Cruel Heart
Upon hearing this, Mu Siran felt a sense of powerlessness, as if her heart had sunk to the bottom of the sea.
In the quiet car, a cell phone suddenly rang; it was Luo Jiuyu.
He took out his phone and saw that it was his grandmother calling. He quickly pressed the answer button.
"Grandma, how is Grandpa?"
"Xiao Jiu, your grandpa is fine. He wants you to come back for lunch."
"Okay, I'll be right back," Luo Jiuyu agreed readily.
Grandpa's awake, that's good. Calling him back isn't just about dinner; his parents will definitely ask him questions.
Mu Siran said, "Qingqing messaged me last night, saying that Grandpa Luo fainted because of what happened to us. Let me go back with you and explain to Grandpa."
Luo Jiuyu thought for a moment, then said, "Okay."
It just so happened that she went back to the Luo family home to have lunch together.
It would be more convincing to have her explain it to her grandfather in person.
Today, Luo En was not home. Luo Mingzhe and his wife knew that Luo Jiuyu had been called back for dinner, but they did not want to eat at the same table with him. They made up an excuse about socializing and left early.
Luo Qingqing stayed at her best friend Liang Danqin's place and didn't go home.
When Luo Jiuyu brought Mu Siran back to the Luo family home, only the two elders were in the dining room.
When Grandpa Luo and Grandma Luo saw Mu Siran, they were both taken aback, thinking that she and Luo Jiuyu were really together.
"Grandpa, how are you feeling?" Luo Jiuyu asked apologetically.
Mu Siran also asked with concern, "Yes, Grandpa Luo, are you feeling better?"
Grandpa Luo said with a stern face, "He took a nap, took some medicine, and is fine now."
He knew his grandfather was still angry. "Grandpa, about last night..."
"Where's Hua Meimei?" Old Master Luo interrupted him angrily.
“She’s working.” He frowned. Grandpa must have found out that Luo Qingqing had secretly taken photos of Fei Chenfeng holding Hua Meimei.
"What's going on with you two? One of you is having an affair with your brother's girlfriend, and the other is having a date with another man in a hotel. Don't you want to settle down and live a normal life?"
The old man got excited and coughed a few times.
The old lady quickly brought him water to drink, saying, "Don't get too excited."
Luo Jiuyu said worriedly, "Grandpa, these are all misunderstandings. Don't get upset. It's just that some people are taking things out of context and spreading rumors."
"Then why didn't you bring your wife home today to explain to me?"
After finishing speaking, Old Master Luo glanced at Mu Siran with a hint of anger in his eyes, "On the contrary, you brought Miss Mu back. Did you guess that Luo En wasn't home?"
Judging from the Luo family's attitude, they clearly disapprove of her being with Luo Jiuyu. Mu Siran couldn't help but clench her fists secretly.
Everyone thought she was Lorne's girlfriend and that she would definitely marry him in the future.
So even if she didn't choose Luo Jiuyu, but chose another man, they would still complain that she treated Luo En badly.
Of course, her choice of Luo Jiuyu would only further enrage them.
Before Luo Jiuyu could speak, Mu Siran said, "Grandpa, please don't be angry with Xiao Jiu. It's all my fault. I had some personal business to attend to and wanted to come back, so I asked Xiao Jiu to pick me up. Unfortunately, the paparazzi took photos of me and exaggerated them into a scandal. It's not Xiao Jiu's fault."
His attitude was sincere and his words were humble.
Grandpa Luo then calmed down a bit and asked Luo Jiuyu, "Xiao Jiu, what do you say about your wife having a date with a doctor in a hotel?"
Luo Jiuyu blinked slightly, ultimately unable to escape this topic.
“That doctor is Hua Meimei’s classmate and friend, and he may have feelings for her…” he answered slowly, then stopped.
He didn't know what exactly happened between Hua Meimei and Fei Chenfeng last night.
The last piece of information Amo found was that after they left the hotel, they went to the Fei family's old house—she spent the night there.
"Didn't Meimei come home last night?" the old lady asked.
He shook his head. "I guess he's angry with me and refuses to come back."
"Call her now and tell her to come back," the old man ordered. "She must explain what happened last night clearly. Our Luo family cannot tolerate an unclean woman."
For some reason, the sentence that followed, which clearly referred to Hua Meimei, made Mu Siran feel extremely uncomfortable, as if she were sitting on pins and needles.
"Grandpa and Grandma, I can handle things between Hua Meimei and me myself, so please don't worry about it." He politely declined his grandfather's request.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Luo became even more displeased and wanted to reprimand him a few more times, but was interrupted by the butler who rushed in.
"It's terrible, Young Master Yu! Paparazzi have taken photos of you and Miss Mu returning home, and they've already posted them online." Liu Ming, the Luo family's butler, said in a panic.
The negative impact of this incident is far more explosive than the trending topics last night.
This confirms that the two were on a date last night and that he took her home to meet his parents today.
"What did the news say?" the old man asked anxiously.
Luo Jiuyu's eyes darkened. He had clearly shaken off the paparazzi on the way, so why were there still paparazzi staking out the Luo family's door?
Liu Ming briefly summarized the news report: "People outside are speculating that Young Master Yu and Miss Mu have confirmed their relationship and that he brought her home to meet his parents."
Mu Siran's lips pursed slightly, her joy almost overflowing. She figured this matter must have already gone viral.
"What nonsense!" Old Master Luo stood up angrily, but then felt dizzy and fell back into his chair.
"grandfather……"
"Old man, can you please not get so agitated? Do you want to faint again?" the old lady complained as she helped the old man up.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I'll take care of it." Luo Jiuyu stood up to say goodbye.
He strode out and left the Luo family home.
This incident has had a huge ripple effect. If it's not dealt with promptly, his relationship with Mu Siran will become even more difficult to explain.
After Luo Jiuyu left the restaurant, only Mu Siran remained to keep the two elders company.
Mu Siran walked up to the old man and brought him some water. "Grandpa, please have some water."
This time, she didn't call him Grandpa Luo anymore; she suddenly started calling him Grandpa. The old man and woman were both a little surprised. Usually, when she came to visit, she would call him Grandpa Luo.
The old man took the water from her, drank some, and his mood calmed down a little.
"Ranran, have you explained it to Lorne? He went out late last night and hasn't come back." The old lady looked worried.
“He came to the hotel to see me last night, and I explained everything to him,” Mu Siran said with a smile.
"It's good that you've explained it clearly." The old lady nodded happily.
Both parents loved him dearly and didn't want Lorne to be unhappy.
Mu Siran took a deep breath and looked at them sincerely: "I told Lorne that I have always treated him like an older brother and a friend. Over the years, the person I have truly loved is Xiao Jiu, and I want to be with Xiao Jiu."
"What did you say?" The old man and the old woman looked at each other in bewilderment.
The old lady reacted quickly, "But Xiao Jiu is already married! Since you don't like Lorne, why don't you cut ties with him sooner?"
"I just can't bear to hurt Lorne, after all, our two families are old friends. Although Xiao Jiu is married, he doesn't have any feelings for Hua Meimei, I can wait for him to get a divorce."
Hua Meimei betrayed him; she didn't love him at all. We've had a mutual crush on each other for years, why can't we be together? I'll treat him even better than Hua Meimei did; I hope Grandpa and Grandma can grant us their wish!
At the restaurant entrance, Lorne stopped in his tracks. Upon hearing Mu Siran's words, he felt weak all over and had a splitting headache.
He rushed back after seeing on the news that Mu Siran and Luo Jiuyu had come to his house.
He no longer had the courage to go into the restaurant, so he turned and left.
Mu Siran, how cruel you are.
